Background: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic poses a grave threat to refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs).
Humanitarian agencies strive to provide sanitation facilities which are safe, accessible and afford users privacy and dignity.
Camps are places of refuge for people fleeing conflict and disaster, but they can be dangerous, especially for women and girls.
There is a new shift in political interest in sanitation in India with the newly launched Swacha Bharat Abhiyan on 2 October 2014.
Menstrual hygiene is a vital as well as a very sensitive issue for women in reproductive ages.
